Only if the above picture was what he meant by love handles... I would not be writing this post.
When my husband pointed to my love handles yesterday, it was like getting hit over the head with the "reality" bat. Did he HAVE to be so blunt? I was trying soooooooo hard to remain in my denial. It's bad enough that most of my peers in school are 25 years my junior. I now have to face the middle-age middle-bulge.
Since I've been sitting on my butt for the past several months wrestling with the text books and the keyboard, I have neglected my body. It is finally turning on me. My reflection in the mirror is looking more and more like my mother. I am losing my battle with youth. I can no longer hang onto it with just positive outlook and good genes.
Okay... it seems petty, and it seems vain. But I'm suddenly feeling extremely old and insecure...and about to go into depression. After sobbing to a friend for 3 hours last night and giving myself a pep talk all morning, I've decided that I will not go down without a fight. I would love to say that I'm doing it for my health; but let's face it, we all know that our vanity is the real motivation behind our obsessions with diet and fitness. Call me shallow.
I'm declaring war on my age and, specifically, my thickening middle. Grrrrrrr...
I recently decided to get in shape as well - only for my body to be hit by the worst cold it's suffered in years.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, it's not an omen. :-)
Matt,
ReplyDeleteOh no. Feel better soon, and don't give up!
What would be your assessment of ESTP?
ReplyDeleteHi Divya or RK!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I know how to answer your question. If your assessment showed your preference for ESTP, that would mean you seem to prefer taking in information through Extraverted Sensing and make decisions through Introverted Thinking. Type is much more complex than just knowing something about a four-letter code. Type is a self-awareness tool and only you can decide what your true preferences are.
You can check out the CPP website or the Myers-Briggs Foundation website for more information which may be helpful.
I'd be happy to answer any specific questions about the type theory. :-)
